First day in New York!

Wednesday, March 26th, 2014

Today we first drove to library to meet our guides which was awesome. Then we walked to Rockefeller center. It was big building, that were surrounded many flags from other countries. Even I found my country's flag (Kazakhstan).

After Rockefeller Center, we went to Central Park. It was incredible to see many places where they filmed a lot of movies. I ate the best hot dog in Central Park. We did a bus tour through Harlem after Central Park, it was amazing and now we know that there are many ethnic groups and nations in the neighborhood. Our tour guide told us that movies that are based in New York are actually filmed in New York instead of Hollywood (as they used to be). I thought that was cool.

After the tour we went to lunch in Greenwich village where I ate 5 Guys Burgers with my friends. As planned, we went to 9/11 memorial after lunch, which was really good to see because it is part of history of the United States.

Building 4 of the World Trade Center

After we drove to Times Square where we had dinner at Sbarro, it was really cool to eat Italian food. After dinner we had tickets to see the Broadway show Cinderella. It was incredible! Carly Rae Jepesen (sings "Call me, Maybe") was Cinderella.

My favorite part of the day was that I have seen M&M's world in Times Square. It was such a beautiful place and I bought a big bag of M&M's.

It was amazing day!
